Colossal AWS outage breaks the internet — Roblox, Fortnite, Zoom, Snapchat, and beyond all crippled
A mazon Web Services (AWS) has confirmed it is tracking a massive issue that has rendered large parts of the internet unusable. AWS says it has identified and fixed the main issue causing the disruption, but it could be some time before all affected services are back to normal.
Amazon Web Services says the issues that caused a mass outage have been “fully mitigated.” While AWS said that all services should be back up and running, “some requests may be throttled” while they continue to work on resolving the problems, CNN reported.
Fortnite, Roblox, Clash Royale and various other games and gaming services have been struck down by an "operational issue" with Amazon's web services today, though Amazon themselves promise that they're already seeing "significant signs of recovery".
AWS outage disrupted major services, including Venmo and Hulu, with a DNS problem in DynamoDB causing widespread issues.
